12.4 Saving E-File Acknowledgments from FinCEN
When the BSA E-Filing System Track Status page shows that the submitted file is acknowledged, then you can retrieve an acknowledgment file from the BSA E-Filing System Secure Messaging Center.
An Acknowledgment is a receipt generated by the FinCEN BSA E-File
System when you submit an E-File. This file is in XML format. You must save this
acknowledgment file and upload it into the OFS CRR application. An acknowledgment file
is not generated when an e-filing is rejected.
To save the acknowledgment file from the BSA E-Filing System, follow these
steps:
- Login to the BSA E-Filing System website BSA E-Filing System.
- From Secure Messaging, select View Inbox to display a list of acknowledgments.
- Click the Subject of the required acknowledgment. A BSA E-Filing Secure Message Reply Form displays.
- Click View/Save Attachment. A window opens to list the acknowledgment (XML) file.
- Click View/Save to save the XML file to your system.
